Are you using pedals with your joystick? Or what are you doing for
shifting/braking/accellerating?

This seems to work well for me. You mentioned "left foot braking", so I assume
you have brake mapped to a button (or using pedals)? This seems a good idea as I
bet it's quick to get on the brakes late for a corner. But don't you loose a lot
of braking sensitivity? (as you're mapping an analog to a digital). I don't know
how this would affect lap times, you amy gain of late heavy braking but you
completely loose out on light dabs of the brakes into faster corners.
Anyone got any theories here?

I have my joystick set up the same way as above. I gave up on the T2 'cause I
was more than 2 seconds off my regular lap times. The car was completly
loose, and I was trying to use gradual acceleration, and braking. The car
just felt inexplicably loose. I heard something about the game making
adjustments depending on whether you use keyboard, joystick or steering
wheel/pedals. I would very much like to use the T2, but I'm not convinced it
will work well for me. I'm not sure how some people have done such fast times
with the T2. It is probably just me not being used to it. Oh well, maybe I
should give it another try.

I did 51.404 with joystick a month ago. Recent attemps have been around
51.8-51.9. I just can't go faster than that with a joystick. I'd like to
have a T2 but it costs too much here (about 900FIM, that's around US$200).
FYI, my controls are as follows:
left/right : Joy left/right
accel/decel: Joy forward/back
change up : button1
change down: button2
Non-linear steering, Steering lock as small as possible (I think about 10 in
Long Beach).

But the AI has a blind spot. That blind spot may turn out to
have different characteristics when you are in a hairpin.
Normally the blind spot is when you're halfway up on their
side. It's a little difficult to estimate exactly where
you are when you race.
No matter what track or what turn they will use the racing
line if you are in that precarious position.
Actually that's perfectly ok as long as you are aware of it.
It should be hard to pass! With the right AI settings that
is very true indeed.
Btw when I did my IICC 3 race at Long Beach I often passed
into the hairpin at Long Beach. You just have to be very quick,
and not hesitate. The front runners were a little more difficult
to pass there and hence I didn't try on them as I wanted to
complete the race without damaging the car which would have cost
me the win at the AI settings IICC used at Long Beach.

Yes, this one is there. It is not as bad as the line the AI drivers
take coming out of turn #3. If you pass them going into this turn on
the outside, they head straight for the left-hand wall. It doesn't
matter if you are 3/4's of a car length ahead of them, they still head
for the wall. Going down the front straight one can hold the inside of
the bend if you actually get ahead of them enough before it approaches.
However, there is no guarantee. It seems that the more agressive
drivers may Christian you. Every track seems to have these "weaknesses"
in the AI driving line. It's just part of learning the simulation to
avoid them. The one that drives me crazy is coming out of turns 3&4.
Here the AI usually do a zig-zag side step. They come through this turn
too slowly and totally out of control. Don't ever follow them closely
through this corner. One can take advantage of this by dropping back
just a bit and blow right through the turns and right on by them while
they gather it back in. Papyrus has said they are looking into their
behavior at this turn. Maybe they will put the AI drivers on a 1-year
probation :-)
